    I'm with you - voted brass.

      Either or, but brass oxidation can look very ugly, where Al is much more benign. Whichever you go with, seal it well, because your customers will be poking at it.

        Hey, if they go copper, but leave it un-lacquered, maybe I'll get my green :D

          Voted aluminum for it's superior heat transfer and conductivity ... but like somebody before said, only if it's polished! Me likes bling.

            My vote would be for clear acrylic, with a recess for a tricolor LED

              I vote.....................Beryllium. You can charge a ridiculous price and include a respirator with every order! And you can even put those cool Haz-Mat stickers on the shipping containers. Just a thought.



              Maybe I should quit thinking.

                I vote wood. Full range or bust.

                    Whatever color or material, I don't want it to tarnish. Real Copper or brass will unless specially treated.

                      Since staying on the Queen Mary I've had a soft spot for Nickel. Of course, blue, red, green, yellow interchangeable, anodized would be funky. Can they be made interchangeable?

                        Brass

                        If I understand the question, the driver will be entirely black except for the phase plug which will be either:

                        A) unpainted aluminum,

                        or

                        B) Polished brass


                        I choose brass.

                        If it's not going to be black, then brass looks a lot sharper than alum. in my opinion.

                        Thank you very much for asking us our preference!

                          I think brass looks better with the black cone.

                            I think polished aluminum with a black cone would look awesome! I think it would look even more awesome with my ribbon mahogany speaker cabinets!

                              My vote, unobtainum!

                              Nah, I think something in a polished brass would look really nice. Looks great in the seas excel lineup.

                                I am unsure if it has been said loud enough, so here goes... Ahem..

                                THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR VALUING OUR INPUT AS YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!


                                I vote Brass. Or green. The tri-color LED thing was cool too. I am thinking Chinese restaurant water fountain on that one.

                                Can we put a notch in it to open beer bottles?
